"I'd taken
a lot of writing classes before I took Elizabeth's. Suddenly, for the
first time, my writing poured out with the effervescent ease of
champagne bubbles when the cork is popped. I recommend it to anyone
with a story to tell." (Terry Davis)
|
Hundreds
of writers have been helped by this writing program, which allows you
to break through inner obstacles and master the skills needed to 'write
your wave' with joy and confidence.

"I would never
have started to write had it not been for Elizabeth's writing
workshops. The first exercise gave me the plot for an entire novel. In
less than four years I've completed 2 novels and 18 short stories,
published in 4 literary quarterlies and won 2 Editor's Choice awards –
all because of Elizabeth's innovative writing techniques."
(Barbara Little Horse)

The
key to success is working with both your creative and analytical mind
in a fun and engaging way. You'll work with a series of
imagination-boosting techniques so effective that you'll find yourself
writing nonstop from the very first exercise.
Writing the Wave
uses step-by-step exercises to transform the fundamental
principles of the writing process into concrete writing techniques you
can use for a lifetime.
You will learn to fuse
actual and invented experience; glean creative ideas from your
surroundings; tap into your unconscious in a disciplined way; generate
images, scenes, or characters effortlessly; organize raw material
efficiently; make an outline or "map" of any poem, fiction, or
nonfiction project; and jumpstart a stalled work-in-progress.

"With each
exercise in Elizabeth's writing course, I felt I was being led on a
journey to a place inside I had an inkling existed, but saw little of
each day. The place – imagination – is the wellspring of my writing.
These amazingly creative writing tools have helped me to grow as a
writer and explore this place in wonderful ways." (Michael Mc
Garry)

'Wonderful.'"
